Best Hospitality Practices
Keeping It Green
Sustainability is never an afterthought at Aguas Claras. From day one we’ve invested in green technology and always source products in line with our philosophy, keeping our operations efficient and sustainable.
Green By Design
Harvesting Our Glorious Sunshine
We work hard to keep our carbon emissions as low as possible. And with sunshine aplenty in Puerto Viejo, one way we do that is by using solar energy generated at the hotel to heat water for our guest rooms.
If it happens to be cloudy, we have energy-saving auxiliary water heaters as a backup. Either way, your showers will always be hot!
Feel-Good Food
Sustainable Ingredients, Sourced Locally
We think food tastes better when it’s ethical and hasn’t been shipped from a faraway land.
That’s why we work closely with our local suppliers, keeping our food miles low and ensuring that every product we serve is as pure as possible, that every chicken is hormone-free and that every cow is grass-fed.
As for fish, we’re all about the good old catch of the day, brought in by artisanal fishermen from the very waters that lap our shores.
